why does /o/ love 3rd world cars so much?
Because they show what modern cars might look like if they weren't hampered by retarded regulations.
>>28202972More utilitarian/less bloatPicrel is the interior of a new Suzuki you can currently buy in many countries.
>>28202973but that looks like shit.
>>28202975and it still costs like 15k probably for a 50hp motorcycle engine. meanwhile in america you can get fully loaded leather clad 10yr old truck with a v8 for that. but you incels will cry about anything
>>28202976its a modern car what do you expect
>>28202972Third world budgets.
>>28202976Almost as if trucks are utilitarian vehicles meant to be affordable by the working man and intended for severe usage - not for showing your neighbors that you can take on a "big boy" car payment with your electronic-laden luxo-truck.>>28202979$6900 brand new converted to burberbux. Now imagine that $6900 depreciated, it'd basically be disposable and people would be giving used models away in that case.
>>28202979I think the problem people have is they want the option to buy a new car and nothing is really that attainable, that isnt a 3rd world car with tacked on EPA and DOT safety stuff. meanwhile 30-40 years ago you could buy totally stripped down trucks new affordably.
>>28202996so it has to look like a transformer's toy for children because its intended for the working jeet and not for people who can afford better cars?this is what /o/ is jumping up and down for?holy yikes
>>28203002Normalization of financing for 60+ monthsNormalization of union workers making $100 an hour without a high school diplomaNormalization of "oooh its big, shiny, and new, I should get it!"Normalization of luxury being the standard no matter how little money you actually have coming in. Normalization of grabbing attention from strangers. >>28202975These would be appropriate if new cost $5000. But a $15-20k spartan vehicle that can't get to freeway speeds and is certain to kill you in a wreck isn't what anyone wants.
>>28203033>Normalization of union workers making $100 an hour without a high school diplomamaybe after you've been working there for 20 years. i work a union job and this is absolutely not how it works.
/o/:>we should be able to buy literally ANYTHING we want FUCK the government for the 25 year rule, FUCK the government for chicken tax, FUCK the government for any kind of safety restriction, FUCK the government for telling me what I can and can't buyalso /o/:>IS THAT A HECKING CHINESE CAR? DADDY GOVERNMENT PLEASE BAN THEM PLEASE TARIFF THEM AIIIIIIIIIIEEEE HELP ME
>>28203042People actually want chinese cars, though. no one wants the OP, as evident by no one in europe importing one.
>>28203004Why don't you go back to the grindset so you can afford your 1k monthly payment on a Ford super duty that sees no duty?
>>28203071why not go back to your NotJustBikes subreddit.
>>28203042You're completely wrong. The China shit threatening current car markets is bad because it is literal economic warfare by the Chinese government. It's not cheap because they do it better, it's cheap because the Chinese government invests a ton of money in it as a way to ruin the economies of the rest of the world. Plus, they are just as pigfat and gay as American Cars, otherwise they couldn't be sold at all. The US government will never walk back/halt/slow down their retarded safety and emissions regulations and let domestic cars be fun, lightweight and practical.
>>28203078>let domestic cars be fun, lightweight and practical.Reminder GM tried to give you that.
>>28203093*crickets*
>>28203078>it's cheap because the Chinese government invests a ton of money in it as a way toIf thats true why aren't American defense companies doing it cheaper? Why aren't plug in stations everywhere and nearly free? Why do solar panels for my house cost $30,000? The US government "invests" in a ton of shit including giving tax credits but everything just gets more expensive. Can you explain why when the US government "invests" or financially incentivizes something it simply gets more expensive while the Chinese government invests and incentivizes something it gets drastically cheaper?
>>28203095>GM: oh, what's that? people don't want fun, lightweight and practical cars? better discontinue it, then.
>>28203101Because the Chinese government controls the vast majority of the wealth generated by their country. They will use the wealth generated from you to expand even more and destabilize the world. The cost of cheap Chinese cars today is you working in a communist sweatshop tomorrow. Not defending the US government, we just have to be aware that it could be much worse. Buy a Chinese car if you're comfortable appearing on a LiveLeak in the next decade of your life. Your Chinese foreman will back up over you with a forklift to make sure you're dead.
>>28203093>>28203110>funAgreed, that 6L V8 sounds good, it pulls good, and uhhh, looks okay>lightweightNo, Americans aren't looking for lightweight anything, nor is the Camaro "light". >practicalPractical if you're a single guy or just don't have any kids. More like>Here's a $65,000 car you can barely see out of, is mostly driven by retards, it gets 15mpg, and they're fuckin everywhere on the road not likely to get more than 100k miles.
>>28203101you're conflating different types of government investment. when the US government invest in green energy, they mean for the state, not for you to put up in your house. if the government was backing the solar panel companies producing said solar panels, you would be able to get them cheaper, since they can just eat a lot of the cost. but they aren't doing that. China is, however.a Tesla and other EVs are slightly cheaper with tax credits, but nowhere near the extent that Chinese cars are, because the US government doesn't own or fund Tesla's R&D.
>>28203117>The cost of cheap Chinese cars today is you working in a communist sweatshop tomorrow.Oh god, I wouldn't want some third world morons being imported by the tens of millions every year driving down wages making even the cheapest EVs unattainable, that would be just unpossible!
>>28203127So instead of the US government trying to get things cheaper for citizens, it just gives billions to already wealthy people to start solar companies, car companies, and internet companies for the sole purpose of making a profit while the average person suffers? Tesla basically exists because of tax credits, government handouts, and now relies on regulations to continue existing. Can't really fault the chinese for actually helping individuals as well as the companies making the wealth. The US government only helps companies' wealth at the expense of individual citizens.
>>28203124>nor is the Camaro "light".3300 lbs for the 4 cylinder is light. its lighter than most cars on the road. while still being practical.>Practical if you're a single guy or just don't have any kids.It has 4 seats, and a trunk that can fit shit in it. my co-worker has kids and dailies one.>Here's a $65,000They were cheaper than miatas...>le can't see out of it memebus rider parroting
>>28203124>not likely to get more than 100k miles.they're more reliable than japanese sports cars, as evident by the fact that japanese manufacturers don't like to honor the warranty of their sports cars. meaning they don't even stand by their own products.
>>28203146No, it pays billions to employ american citizens to install those solar panels and other infrastructure. Tesla exist because wealthy people who believe the company will grow give them money. a few thousand off each tesla is a drop in the bucket compared to the money Tesla already gets and has been getting from wealthy people. Tesla isn't held up by a few grand being taken off a tesla. their stock prices are being pumped organically by wealthy people and investors.
>>28203150>parrotingMy brother owned a Camaro, the visibility is just awful. He confirmed it and owned it for 6 years saying you just get used to it. I never did and hated how it was like looking through a mail slot. >They were cheaper than miatas...For the very basic cheesedick 4 cylinder no option version. Basically nobody bought that version nor did anyone want that version. Because only women and retards are fine getting a 4 cylinder base model muscle car. >4 seats and a trunkyeah the rear seats are unusable unless you're under 10 and the trunk has a moronic shape to fit stuff in. Under that same logic a porsche 911 with its rear seats and a frunk are just as practical. >3300lbs for the 4cylinderokay, and? What car buyer other than autistic retards care about curb weight? The type of guy that wants to turn the wheel and go fast. They're not buying a 4 cylinder camaro to take to the track or go for spirited drives on their favorite roads.
>>28203244>My brother owned a Camaro,was your bother a manlet?>For the very basic cheesedick 4 cylinder no option versionThat's all you need for better handling than a miata right out of the box, even on shitty all season tires.>Basically nobody bought that version nor did anyone want that version.tons did, you can easily find them on the used market, too.>yeah the rear seats are unusable unless you're under 10 and the trunk has a moronic shape to fit stuff inso basically, you can fit your kids in it? sounds practical. https://youtu.be/JdMVuBVuGjg?t=254Post a video of people fitting any of this shit into a 911.>What car buyer other than autistic retards care about curb weight?I agree, its not a relevant metric in the real world.>They're not buying a 4 cylinder camaro to take to the track or go for spirited drives on their favorite roads.incorrect.
>>28203266>was your bother a manlet?Why yes, he is!>That's all you need Its called a bill of rights, not a bill of needs. A v8 doing a burnout and making lots of noise is more fun than benchracing a 4cylinder camaro and a miata. If you buy a 4 cylinder camaro trying to say it might handle better on a track than a miata you should have your license revoked. >tons did, you can easily find themYeah, rental cars, cars driven by women because they like the look of the car and don't care about any performance. >you can fit your kids in the back!Yeah, nothing like folding the seat forward and letting your snotty brat cause wear and tear in and out of the car that isn't easy to maneuver. Again, you'd be a colossal moron justifying a muscle car as a practical every day car and agreeing to that mentality is why enthusiast cars have gone away or become prohibitively expensive. Nothing like telling engineers "thanks for this high performance car, can you soften it so I can take timmy to school, have a comfy ride, and able to fit my golf clubs in the trunk". Thats how you end up with soap bar SUVs everywhere and fun cars going extinct unless you have a spare $100k to have fun. Show me the person buying a 4 cylinder camaro to race against miatas. I'll show you a moron nobody likes being around.
>>28202973But how is Shaniqua gonna know she left D'Markees in the back seat if she doesnt have a sensor to remind her?
>>28202972>Cheap to buy new>Easier and cheaper to maintain>No excessive features to break>3rd world cars often use less parts overall>Those parts are often from the manufacture's parts bin, meaning the supply chain is already robust and will have new parts available decades later
>>28202972I Just want a new truck that i can tow my racecar to the racetrack that wont cost 120k you fucking retard.
>>28203644So go buy some shitter <40k f150
>>28202979>meanwhile in america you can get fully loaded leather clad 10yr old truck with a v8 for thatThis isn't the 2000's anymore buddy.
>>28203155>just subaru and corvette things
>>28203644Go buy a Maverick and an aluminum trailer.
>>28202972>Trollposting about a trollpostThis site's as dead as /pol/
>>28202972They're cheap, simple, reliable, easy to maintain, probably more fuel efficient because they're lighter for just being boxes of metal with seats, steering wheel and engine.
>>28202972/o/ is a brownpilled board so they only like cars that brown people drive. Like Chally Wallys and GM Camaros for example
>>28202979Someone here is stuck in the past with their pricing, dealers are fucking everyone
Most things would be better if this Stupid tax was lifted, but corruption keeps it in.
>>28206498Then don’t buy at dealers? Just check marketplace and Craigslist
>>28203403Was dat beepin noise?
>>28202972More options.I don't care where a car is manufactured if it means it's a better product at a better price for what I need. There's not enough lard in my blood to pledge allegiance to a corporation if it means fucking me over like the true American way. Pledging allegiance to corporations that are actively trying to nigger you at any chance they get and are only just barely held back by senate assuming they aren't lobbying is just stupid. >tldrI buy what I want if it makes more sense. Who cares.
